A sure cure for Blind, Bleeding,
Itching, and liberated Piles, has been
discovered by DR.. William, ian Indian
remedy )called DIR. WILLIAMS S INDIAN
OINTMENT. A single box has cured
the worst chronic cases of twenty-five
years standing. No one need suffer
five minutes after applying this Won
derful soothing medicine. Lotions and
instruments do more harm than good
Williams Ointment absorbs the tu-
mors, allays the intense itching, (par-
ticularly at night after getting warm
in bed,) acts as a poultice, gives in
stant and painless relief, and is rre-
pared only for Piles, itching of the
private parts, and for nothing else.

A Brave and Smiling Front.

A good many sermons are preached
about the folly of trying to keep up APP
pearances when the effort involves Il
wear and tear almost beyond endur-
ance. The application of the sermons
depends upon just what is meant by
excepting up appearances" f1t con-
sists of living in house and wearing
clothes that cannot be paid for, of set
ting food upon the table the cost of
which is far beyond the means, of Civ
ing entertainments for which some
body else must foot the bills of appear
ing to be what one is not at the eX-
pense of others, and without their con-
sent, then it is a wrong for which there
is no excuse. 1t is worse than that
it is a shameless robbery. There Is,
however, another side to the matter OF
keeping up appearances. When an
air of cheerful prosperity Is not assum-
ed to deceive others in order 10 rob
them, it is better to wear ii. even
though one is out at both heels and
toes. Keep the holes ont of sight,
make the world believe you are doing
well, and it is ready to help you along
in your prosperous way.
The truth which Ella Wheeler Will
cox put III the following lines might as
we'll be recognized by every body first
rs last:
The world is queer old fellow:
As you journey along by his side
You had better conceal any trouble You feel
If you want to tickle his pride.
No matter how heavy your burden
Don't tell him about it pray;
He will only grow colder and shrug his shoul-
der
And hurredy walk away.
People do not like to be worried
with troubles in which they have no
Immediate personal interest, and even
the very best and most c!taritabiy dis
posed will grow weary with the con
tinual striking of single chord,
though it drew forth Il responsive thrill
at first. 1t is better then, unless there
! is a business reason for franlSness. To
| show "A brave front to the world which
smiles only upon success.
1t is unfortunate, though, that ut the
very time is most needed the world is
often least ready to bestow it. No truel
words were ever spoken than thai
nothing succeeds like success. When
anybody is upon the high road to for

to give helping push forward. Turn

so much from unkindnesS or cruelty

Says the Boston Herald: A valiant
Harvard student who recently went
through the ceremonies of initiation to
crack society was blindfolded and
walked to the river. one of the coolest
nights, and told to jump into hole in
the ice expressly cut for his immersion.
He jumped and was wet through to the
skin. Then he walked home This is
not the worst of it, but it is enough to
show what idiots may and do flourish

AVt in Our Coinage.

The Century has an illustrated arti-
Gle on Greek coinage, by w. j. Still
man, also an editorial, from which we
quote: at must indeed remain a
dream, as Mr.. Stillman expresses it..
that modern coinage can ever become,
like that OF ancient Helas, It chief vehi-
Gle OF the expression of art. 1t is not,
however, too much to hope that it ma V
come at least to reflect the contempo-
rancous attainment of art. Greek
medalists We're untrammeled by the re-
quirements of regularity of contour,
and thickness, and excessive tlatness of
relief, which are in this practical age
demanded in money for the greater con-
venicnce of its use as II medium of eX-
change. Our power-presses, too, are,
in truth, necessary to secure swiftnesS
and economy of manufacture; but they
can neveH produce the artistic effect of
the blow struck by the hammer of the
ancient coiner, deftly modulated and
directed, as it always was by expert
cnced workmen, So as to bring out the
full value of any particular die. More
over, perhaps we cannot expect the
designer of To-day, whose mind is free
from all mist of NEUROLOGICAL illusion,
to work with quite the inspiration of
Evainetos and Kimon and their great
unknown brother-artists. But after
every allowance has been made, the
fact remains that, with Il few excep-
tions, the coinage of the modern world
is unnecessarily inartistic. And none
will gainsay Mr.. Stillman that, among
all, the products of the United States
mint are the most barbarous- most
contemplate in the weakly grotesque
design of their eagles, in their ill-drawn
and commonplace Liberties, and in the
vulgarly staring lettering of theil
legends"

Why GO West 2
ARGUS and Patriot. |

Why do Vermonters desert their native
state III colonies, to try the experiment of
promised" land? If they have no
capital to start with they do not stand
any chance of success, and if they have,
they can stay at home, invest their capital
ludiciously in land, and be sure of COM
Portable living. The country does not
need settlers, it needs intelligent and en-
ergetic workers where it is already set
tlei. We know of instances in this State,
dozens of them, where well-to-dO farmers
nave sold their real and personal estate at
large sacritice-good farms, where thev
were born and brought up, and where the
lana and buildings were In excellent con
dltlon-simply because the western
lever" struck them, and they were prom
lesd rich, level farm. When they arrived
| there, they found themselves without
WOOD or water, society, schools churches,
or any other conveniences-miles from a
market or neighbors, and with only 100
acres of land, yoke of steers, and very
| lmpromptu house. Cannot home be
made in Vermont as pleasant and com
Portable as this? We have snow drifts
here in the winter, but very few billiards,
drouths, cyclones, or devastating floods.
| Vermont is good State to be born in, to
1--we in, and to die in. If its children will
take care oft, it will take care of its
| children. Let us bring ourselves to a
realizing sense of when we are we'll of,
and let well enough alone.

EUROPEAN MATTERS.
SMITH MOVES THAT THE CLOTURE
BE APPLIED
Amid the Great Excitement of the Com
moners-The Opposition Seek to Delay
the Measure-TroubIe for the Dyna-
miters- Many Arrests to be Made

LONDON, May Elm the House of Com
mons tonight Healy moved that the first
clause of the crimes bill be so amended as
to indicate clearly to what portions of
Ireland the bill would be applicable He
suggested that the words proclaimed dis
tricts" be omitted and that kerry, Lon
donderry and Belfast" be inserted in their
stead
Balfour declined to accede to this pro
posal. He said the government intended
to apply the clause to all parts of Ireland
where the prevalence of crime justified
such action.
Labouchere said the scope and aim of
the bill was to crush out the nationalists,
leaving the orangemen to do anything
they like. The administration of law was
so bound up with the orange faction that
it could not be impartial.
Gladstone suggested that the words
proclaimed DISTRICTS remain but that
the districts be defined under the other
clauses OF the bill. The answer of Balfour
that all the districts would be treated i'm
partially was not sufficient; the minister
had often referred to particular parts of
Ireland where the bill was meant to oper-
ate. No doubt the people OF Belfast re
garded with disgust aud horror the preva-
ltuCt VI III lnelT ulllS', DuJ Tue
same apology was equally good for other
districts. The conduct of some persons in
Belfast recently stained the name of Ire
land more than the conduct of the people
of any other part of Ireland had.
Lord Randolph Churchill said that the
suggestion Mr.. Gladstone had made might
have boon valuable, but its value had been
destroyed 10y raising points which were cal
culated to lead to controversy. Mr.. Glad
stone had made himself party to the in
situation that the government intended
to apply the clause only to certain
parts of Ireland, and leave Belfast out.
To put the dlabolical outrages of the
South of Ireland as Gladstone did on the
same level as the disturbances in Belfast
was to condone and apologize for those
outrageS.
The discussion being continued w. H.
Smith, the first lord of the treasury amid
cries of shame" moved to enforce the
cloture rule. The motion was carried by
vote of 257 to 1885, Gladstone and the
other opposition leaders walked slowly
into the opposition lobby while the Par
nellites and Gladstonians stood cheering
wildly. Nolan moved to report progress
on the bill.
smith said the government was unable to
agree to this because only 8 of 140 amend
ments to the first clause had been dis
posed Of. Later however, progress was
reported.
Russia Again Uneasy.
BRUSSELS, May 2.-Advices from St.
Petersburg say that after fortnights
quietude the country is again in a state of
unessiness. Large ornaments are being
pushed forward with feverish activity.
An order OF the war ministry points to
the concentration of great masses of
troops on the frontiers of Russia.

MERCHANTS IN MASKS.
LouisviIle's Best Citizens Seek to Execute
Alleged Murderers.

LOUISVILLE, April ga large crowd
gathered on the streets leading to the Jail
last night, it being rumored that an Or
ganiZed effort would be made to lynch the
negroes Patterson and Turner, under ar
rest for the brutal assault on Jennie Bow
man, The crowd were without leaders,
and after making two attempts to break
through the police lines, they gradually
dispersed.
A few minutes before 3 O'Clock this
morning messengers rushed into the City
Hall station and announced that mob of
Main street merchants were coming
Policemen inside the station rushed
through the lower corridors to the interior
OF the Jail and Chief Whallen and his
lieutenauts threw Gordon of police across
Jefferson street in front of the Advancing
lynchers, which numbered about 800 men.
The mob continued to advance and fore
ed the police back gradually until they
reached the corner of Sixth and Jefferson
streets, so feet from the Jail door. Here
the police force was strengthened and.
making stand while the mob were
bringing up battering rams and tools they
had secured at a neighbOring blacksmith
shop, succeeded in again forming their
lines and, seizing the momentary advau-
tage offered by the delay in getting the
tools to the front, charged the mob and
ing the Sixth street crossing.
Col. Whallen succeeded In getting two
of the leaders of the mob into the station
house and this had demoralizing effect.
The mob, followed by the police. retreated
half square until opposite the court
house, when eeveral shots were fired The
police fell back to the corner of Sixth and
formed q strong double line across JefYer-
son street. Among those arrested at the
last charge of the mob were Alan Nc
Donald, principal of the Rugby school; j.
NJ. Letterly, state representative and NJ.
#. Brnkley, Of Brinkley & Co., stove
manufacturers.
The better class of citizens are deter
mined that the negroes shall be lynched
No one is reported as injured from the
shots fired. There were several police
men hurt.
